The World's 9 Most Successful Submarine Weapon Systems: #5 Will Shock You!

8.3M-54 Kalibr Cruise Missile System

In both conventional and nuclear missions, the Kalibr family of submarine-launched cruise missiles has shown extraordinary adaptability and potency. For some variants, these missiles mix extended range (up to 2,500km) with high subsonic cruising speed and supersonic terminal approach.

Their very great value for submarine operations comes from their capacity to be launched from ordinary torpedo tubes. The complex guidance of the system guarantees great precision against both land and marine targets by combining inertial navigation with satellite updates and terminal guidance choices.
